Hello! This is Tonja the designer behind Pink Plumeria Maui and I’m overjoyed to be back on Clover USA’s Blog.
Today I’m sharing with you a new crochet pattern using Clover’s Jumbo Amour Crochet Hook, Spiked Baskets. The K (6.5 mm) Amour Crochet Hook is a great go-to hook!
The Spiked Baskets pattern is made with bulky yarn and super bulky yarn. This pattern included a standing small basket as well as a small hanging basket. Spiked Baskets are a great home décor projects that have a modern look and are useful.
In this Spiked Baskets pattern, I used 1 strand of bulky weight yarn crocheted over 1 strand of super bulky yarn to add structure. This crochet pattern is worked in continuous rounds, so have a stitch marker on hand. The Spiked Baskets pattern is a pattern for all skill levels.
